Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams lean beef sirloin
- 60 ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 15 ml fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 60 ml light coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter, preferably low-fat
- 60 ml water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 12 pieces wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips approximately 1 cm wide and 10 cm long.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, coriander powder, cumin powder, and chili flakes to create the marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
For the satay sauce, in a small saucepan, combine light coconut milk, peanut butter, and water. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the peanut butter is fully incorporated. Add salt to taste.
Preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the beef skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep the beef tender.
Serve the beef satay hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
